After years of photographing weddings I am amazed that I have never seen  one wedding cake like another. The creativity is amazing. Photographing the wedding cake is one of the first things I do when I arrive to the location of the wedding reception and celebration.  We will be happy to share the names of some of our favorite wedding cake designers and some ideas on how you can keep your costs down if you are on a tight budget.  The chocolate cake above seems to be one of the favorite cakes of people that comment on this page even though it is very nontraditional.  Several of our customers have decided to have a bride cake and a separate groom cake as you can see on the table to the bottom left of the chocolate cake above.  This seems to be more of a Southern tradition. Leaving plenty of room on the table gives you the ability to show off  your wedding parties flowers. Consider having your initials and wedding date engraved on your wedding knife as a memento. Consider purchasing crystal or silver toasting glasses as a keepsake of your wedding. Have your florist decorate your knife and toasting glasses with flowers or ribbons. The most common flavors are chocolate, carrot, lemon, rum, and "white" cakes. You can be creative by adding a filling to your cake, such as custard, strawberry, or chocolate. You may also want to consider having tiers of different flavors. Most reception sites and caterers charge a fee for each slice of cake they cut if the cake is brought in from an outside bakery. This fee will probably shock you. It is simply their way of enticing you to order the cake through them. And unfortunately, many sites and caterers will not allow a member of your party to cut the cake. Above all don’t forget to save a piece for the wedding photographer!
